Oh that's so true. Imagine embarking on a tax return for a non-profit club, where you only took over the books in September. Prior to that, it appears coaches' hotel expenses were paid for by person x, who then paid that much less for their coaching fees when they remembered in the next tax year, but none of this shows in the books! Argh!
